Information Minister: Negotiation lead restored

The article focused on Lebanon's new Media Law, which was officially approved and published in the Official Gazette. The law aims to modernize legislation and regulate the media sector by strengthening the rights of media professionals and including regulations for websites, which were previously excluded, through a license issued by the Independent National Media Authority. This license requires adherence to professional and legal standards such as the right to reply. Additionally, the law established an independent national media authority, defined a legal concept of a journalist, and directed efforts to combat hate speech. The ministry confirmed that the law seeks to reduce custodial sentences in favor of fines and received international praise from organizations like UNESCO and Reporters Without Borders. This recognition enhances Lebanon's ranking in press freedom and opens opportunities for cooperation and training. The minister also highlighted ongoing efforts to combat hate speech and protect journalists' safety, amid rising challenges caused by the war and social pressures on Lebanese media professionals, especially noting the dangers faced by journalists covering events in a context of Israeli restrictions on their movement.
